Polaris plow weight

[jj46]

Does anyone have a good idea of what the whole 84" Polaris steel plow weighs? I am talking the frame, blade, the whole works. I checked the website but of course they don't show weights for the components. Thank you.

I have the 84" plow from Polaris; it is manual so I do not know how much the hydraulics would add to it. Of course, I've never had a reason to weigh it, so I don't know how heavy it is for sure........my best guess is that it's 150-175 lbs. assembled.

Thank you Red. How have you liked the setup? I've never plowed with a UTV before... certainly looking forward to it, if we ever get some real snow here in central Minnesota!

I really like it; it functions VERY well. The Plow Control function in the Ride Command makes it super easy to raise and lower the plow. Put it in forward and the plow drops to the ground. Put it in reverse and it automatically raises it back up. For back dragging just switch to Back Drag mode and it will reverse the operation. In my situation I don't have to change the angle of the plow very often, so I didn't see the need to add the hydraulic angle. Yes, it would be nice to have but that added a considerable amount to the cost and complexity of the set-up. It takes a minute or less to hook up, removing it is even easier. It has a kickstand to keep it at the correct height when unhooked. You definitely need poles mounted on the sides of the plow, $20 on Amazon solves that problem. I also added the back drag bar and it works ok not great. All in all I feel it's worth what it cost. As for plowing in a UTV.......the XD is a beast and she will push a large pile of snow!

Sounds great! I did get the back drag bar, so we will see if my experience is decent. I have some tight spaces so I went with the hydraulics, we will see how it plays out.
